Plaid does support personal use (including personal use access for Chase). I'd actually be interested in seeing where you saw that it doesn't support Chase for personal access so I can make sure our messaging is clear and consistent on that front!

It's true that the current onboarding flow is not designed for personal use cases; we're currently in the middle of revamping it to make it less onerous for non-business users. In the meantime, I recommend you just fill out the questionnaire as well as you can. We know that some of the questions don't really make sense in a personal use context -- just try to answer them to the best of your ability and you should be fine.

I saw that there is a limited production mode, but it doesn't support institutions such as BofA or chase (https://plaid.com/docs/sandbox/#testing-with-live-data-using...). I submitted the questionnaire for production access and got access, but it says it will be revoked unless I complete a list of security attestation requirements.

Seems like the barrier to entry seems a bit high for personal use. Even with production access, I can't just link my bank accounts and use the API right as I would have to setup authentication and Link myself right? Looking forward to see more about the revamp, though.

Thanks for the details! Glad to hear you've got full Production access -- if any of the security attestation requirements seem unreasonable for your use case, feel free to reach out to us directly (you can email me at [e-mail] and let me know you're the person in this thread) so we can look into it.

You do need to set up Link, but it's pretty easy. The Tiny Quickstart(https://github.com/plaid/tiny-quickstart) has a bunch of minimal examples. If that's too much we have a super-minimal, no-code set of instructions for making API calls in the Postman Quickstart (https://github.com/plaid/plaid-postman?tab=readme-ov-file#ma...).
